Manila envelope laptop sleeve

Posted by: Jeannie Choe | Comments (6)

Looks like those Macbook Air ad-makers inspired more than one designer's quest to create the perfect Air laptop sleeve. Michael Leung's Mac bag lightly touches upon the classic manila envelope, retaining a simple, modern bag-like feel. Wonder Threads, on the other hand, took the campy, photorealistic route with the appropriately-named Macbook Air Laptop Sleeve, made of poly-microfiber with a fuzzy neoprene lining.

This is not design! It's:
saw it,
copied it,
sold it!
I think it's lost everything that was emotive about the manila envelope.
